Russia says India to finalize S-400 deal by year end, delivery 2018 onwards

[Assault Rifle]

India wants to buy anti-aircraft missile systems S-400. At what stage of the negotiations?

Negotiations are underway, but it would be before the end of the year when this issue would be closed. Everything rests on the delivery time: they just will begin from 2018. "Almaz-Antey" has built two plants - in Kirov and Nizhny Novgorod, hoping that it will concern more quickly deliver systems in the Russian army, and only then they can easily switch to export:

Had Russian are ready with all the Missiles, had they developed Ka band seeker and put them in the SAM sucessfully.

I don't think so, S-400 would take more time to enter India. Or India, would push S-400 to get limited BMD umbrella cover.

Dear Pakistanis this is a defensive weapon because we are fed up with your daily basis nuclear threat like North Korea

David sling's range is only half of S-400.
Arrow 3 is in development, not much is known. It is developed by the US, so USA will have a big say in it. It will means sign this, sign that. To many headaches besides the missile being procured from Russia is a hybrid of S-400 and S-500. This will surely seal India's airspace.
